Getting Some Action

Hooking up, doing the nasty, bumping uglies.
Getting down, kicking it, going all the way.
Doing it, doing the deed.
There are many euphemisms for having sex, or as Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory would say, “having coitus,” and once he even said, “Dance with no pants.”
In the olden days, someone wrote a song about making whoopee. Having sex has been called everything from rolling in the hay to getting laid. The Beatles refer to it as “letting your knickers down” in I am the Walrus.
The list goes on and on.
In the seventies, it was sock it to me. On one episode of Three’s Company, it was “put up a shelf.” Dylan on today’s Modern Family, sings, “I just want to do you, do you.”
Marvin Gaye crooned, “Let’s Get It On.”
Barry White sang, “You are the music, and I love making music.”
Rick James sang, “Give it to me, baby.”
Stephen Stills sang, “Love the one you’re with.”
Making love, making babies, sleeping together, spending the night!
Have a sleepover, knock boots, take me to bed, take me to church, score, screw, shag, nail, get some tail, bang, boink, get a piece. Sexercise!
Do the horizontal tango (cha cha, rumba, salsa, — insert your favorite dance here)
Even get jiggety.
But our favorite euphemism of all is the one Vatsyayana used in Kama Sutra – having congress.
There are sixty-two ways to have congress, some of them reserved only for gymnasts. Kama Sutra, written over 1700 years ago, talks about all of them, with diagrams! It is much more than a love manual; it also discusses how to have a marriage and family, even how to plant a garden.
Kama Sutra has been discussed, analyzed, and expounded upon for centuries. We have our twist on it, too, of course.
Ours is about having congress after an injury, surgery, or an accident.
It’s Kama Suture: Love in the Time of Stiches, Scars, and Surgery.. And how fifty people recovered and got back in the game.
To get some action, once again.
Or as Sheldon would say, regarding Penny and Leonard, to fornicate.
